Introspection - Mystifying synths hum over the static, gradually progressing as subsonic frequencies come into clarity before quickly dissolving. Alluring symphonic chords dance along the spectrum, igniting the space. A crisp pounding 4x4 bass kicks at 172 bpm breaches in unison with the translucent chords causing a synaptic spark rejoicing over past experiences and dreams yet to happen as the world slowly comes back to normal. Sizzling reeses weave over the texture as the bass line matures and speeds up as a snare appears leading the phrase out. The chords build back up as they’re eased into a mid-tempo bass creating a gasp of fresh air as the track fizzles out.
Ignorance - A distant atmosphere filters through the aura as an alluding vocal chord echoes in. The hefty yet compact bass thrusts in as the vocal cuts bounce in rhythm, together with drilling through the various flows. The second half of the track treads into a halftime space for a brief moment before speeding back up. The hunk of bass and vocal stabs boil over the acceleration edging over the seam ready to explode but instead drowns out, washing away one’s ignorance.
Watching Us - Alien-like sounds dial-in alarming a ringing bell as a whimsical atmosphere builds up. The lurking grotesque synth burst in after the ‘watching us' vocal sample. The chunky bass sweeps along with the menacing flow, all intertwined with spacey bleeps and transients. The girth of the bass thickens as it switches into a halftime manner in harmony with the flux of the track before coming to an end.
Serenity - The tranquil atmosphere arises as the composed undulating bass kindles a sense of clarity. The hefty yet poised bass and stripped-back structure become in stride with the elegant chords, dazzled with tinkling snares as they meticulously build into a peaceful oasis. The melodic synths flourish in its glorious ending as the beat relaxes; they flutter to a serene stop leaving you in pure bliss.
